Where does Northwestern place student teachers?
The practicum and student teaching experience is usually at a high school within a reasonable commute from the NU campus. Undergraduates are generally placed in Chicago public schools located not too far from the “Red Line.” These would include public schools such as Senn, Lakeview, Lincoln Park or possibly a parochial school like Regina Dominica or a private school like Northside Preparatory. Students are also placed in north shore suburban schools such as Evanston Township High School, Niles North, Glenbrook South or Highland Park.
